Camping fun.

Captain Mainwaring decides it would be beneficial for the men to do a course in outside survival skills, only the vicar decides to bring the sea scouts along.

They definitely decided to change things up with this episode.

Pretty funny, one or the slightly more silly episodes, but it does have some really nice moments, there is an element of Allo Allo about this one. They have made The Vicar a little more camp with time, but he, The Verger and Mr Hodges make a funny trio.

The laughs are spread among the whole cast, although as with most of this series, Pike seems to be getting more and more of the funny moments.

Enjoyable, 7/10.

A slight comedown in a good eighth series
phantom_tollbooth28 July 2023
After a strong start to series 8 with two good episodes and a late era classic, Come In, Your Time is Up is a slight comedown. A sillier episode involving a lot of slapstick bits with people falling in the water, this tale of the platoon encountering a group of Nazis while on a camping trip just about gets by on its heightened stakes but the jokes are a bit weaker than normal and the pace drags a little. Still, the cast appears to be enjoying themselves, still riding high on their return to form after a seventh series in which many of them seemed a little bored. Though it doesn't completely derail what has so far been a very good eighth series, Come In, Your Time is Up is not one of the better late era episodes.
